• "Hi, I am extremely happy with the SGBox set I ordered from you. First of all your customer support is fantastic and I was very happy to recieve the order in a shorter time than you had promised. I have been using these books with my 5 year old son and he loves it. He cannot wait to get back from school and start with "maks" as he calls it. I particularly love the way the books are designed in very simple and clear pictures , that my son can work on it even without my help sometimes. The books have a lot of simple skill practice interspersed with some thought provoking word questions. It gives the child a perspective different from just regular drilling. On the whole, I love it and it has given my son a lot of confidence in maths. I hope to follow up on the sets as and when he masters them. Thank you SGBox for the fantastic service and product.
